Counter-Trafficking in Persons

Counter-Trafficking in Persons (TIP) involves efforts to prevent, combat, and address the illegal practice of human trafficking. Human trafficking is the exploitation of people through coercion, deception, or force, often for forced labor or sexual exploitation. Counter-Trafficking initiatives include enforcing laws, providing victim support, raising awareness, and dismantling trafficking networks. The goal is to protect individuals from being exploited, hold traffickers accountable, and ensure safe, legal pathways for vulnerable populations. It is a coordinated response that spans governments, organizations, and communities to combat this grave violation of human rights.
